Asking questions is the best way to avoid making mistakes. "Living On Your Own" provides answers to so many questions that leafing through it is a great way to get the answers to your questions, even some you never knew you had! --Dr. Ruth Westheimer

With the lengthening of adolescence over the last generation and the tendency of 'emerging' adults to return to live with their parents after college, "Living on Your Own" is doubly useful: when young people go away to college, and then again when they leave home for good. Lehu covers everything from doing the laundry, to choosing housemates and finding a doctor, replacing the mystery of 'living on your own' with a commonsense guide that should find a wide audience. --Stephen Lassonde, Dean of Student Life, Harvard College

As a dean at a large state university working with many students who are transitioning to new lives after college, I read Pierre Lehu's terrific new book with interest and enthusiasm. "Living On Your Own" is comprehensive, well-organized, and clear -- and should be a graduation present for all the graduating seniors in our lives. --Dean Muffin Lord, Administrative Director, School of Arts and Sciences Honor Program, Rutgers University
